Rumor: Weta Workshop providing effects for the Warcraft movie

I feel this should be considered a rumor until more than one person confirms it. A member of the WoW Subreddit has posted his journey to Weta Workshop and believes they are working on the Warcraft film.

Weta Workshop is located in Wellington, New Zealand is known for providing practical/special effects in famous films such as LotR, Avatar and District 9.

"Yesterday, me and a friend took the tour around the Weta Workshop in Wellington, NZ (famous for the props, practical and special effects in the LotR movies, Avatar and District 9 to name but a few). During the tour, the guide mentioned that they were working on a new fantasy film that they could not disclose. However, during the tour, we noticed what we thought were the tier 2 paladin pauldrons, helm and gauntlets lying on a side table. After the tour, we approached the guide and quietly asked if these were indeed what we thought they were. She gave us a surreptitious wink and said that they weren't, but in such a way as to indicate that in fact they were. She followed it up by saying we were the first ever to guess the identity of the items and film. TL;DR Weta is collaborating with Blizzard on the WoW movie"

Blizzard took a long time to make a movie because it has to be amazing. Remember when Uwe boll wanted to do it and they laughed at him? This film will most definitely be the first of at least three, and they will most likely gross over two billion in total just like the lotro franchise (and The Hobbit nowadays) Blizzard won't release a product unless its up to their standards and this movie won't be any different. If it gets released then that is a confirmation at least in my own opinion that it will be a major success.

Or you could watch the fucking Blizzcon movie panel and learn exactly who is working on this. People from ILM and Weta both are working on this, the same team responsible for the Hulk in the Avengers and Avatar with veterans from the Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia. Speculation isn't required, just get a clue.
